Spyderco Manix 2 XL Folder Knife, CPM-S30V Satin Blade

The Manix 2 is a dependable full-service knife that showcases Spydero’s USA-made quality while utilizing its patented Ball Bearing Lock mechanism. Considered one the their toughest locking mechanisms, it consists of a hardened steel ball bearing encased in a polymer cage. After the blade has been opened, a quick simultaneous pull back on the oval-shaped ridged tabs releases the lock and allows the blade to pivot smoothly closed. Just like the Endura or Delica series, the tremendous popularity inspired a number of variations to highlight different aspects of the knife–from lighter handle scales to alternate blade finishes and styles and even touching upon multiple size ranges. This super-sized XL model, the C95GP2, features black textured G-10 handle scales with strategically placed jimping and a satin finished blade in a leaf shape style. Thanks in part to the skeletonized stainless steel liners, it weighs just as much as the original size. This folder also comes standard with Spyderco’s trademark round hole opening feature and the pocket clip is designed for tip up carry only but is eligible for left or right hand carry options. Made in the USA.
